I'm gonna take my time next time I'm in your city
Im gonna take my time next time I'm in your ear
How we dance and call the lights that fall so pretty
I'm gonna take my time and hold you in my hands
I'm gonna give my thanks for everything you've shown me
I'm gonna pull those strings you dangle from the sky
Though ive never been so humble and the starts they often crumble
I'm gonna take my time and hold you in my heart
And the city lights, look so damn pretty
Lying there beneath the starts
I'm feeling like my dreams don't seem to be so far away
The city lights look so damn pretty
I can hold them in my hands
I'm feeling like I just became a better man
We paint upon our faces what we're wanting
We tie our shoes and wear the clothes we hope to be
And for everything we know, there's excuses that we show
And I can't blame you if you want to walk away
And the city lights, look so damn pretty
Lying there beneath the starts
I'm feeling like my dreams don't seem to be so far away
The city lights look so damn pretty
I can hold them in my hands
I'm feeling like I just became a better man
If we could go to sleep and wake in New York City
If we could feel the sands the tides that be LA
You know that everything is written in this pavement
The very notion is what fuels the getaway
And the city lights, look so damn pretty
Lying there beneath the starts
I'm feeling like my dreams don't seem to be so far away
The city lights look so damn pretty
I can hold them in my hands
I'm feeling like I just became a better man
